If you enjoy Asian food and looking into non-traditional Christmas dinner this year, here are some Asian recipe ideas you may be interested in while planning your menu for the feast, from starters/appetizers, main course, desserts, and beverage.
Christmas is one of the most exciting holidays of the year. The decorations, the Christmas tree, Santa, the gifts, the food, the gathering with family and loved ones. This year, I decided to share some recipe ideas you might be interested in to plan your Christmas menu with an Asian twist. Yes, it’s a bit unorthodox but I noticed that Asian cuisine is getting more and more mainstream these days. Perhaps it’s the younger generations and also the social medias. People love posting the unique foods they have tried on Instagram.
The recipes I compiled here from starters, salad, mains, sides, beverages, desserts, cakes, and cookies are my favorites and more unique, not as commonly heard or eaten, some you may have heard or tried before. If you are up to something a bit non-traditional this year, hopefully, you may find something you like from here.
